Through scientific research, we've been able to come up with great scientific breakthroughs such as penicillin, as well as finding facts about ourselves and new diseases. Gathering information is a main thing to understand what we are trying to learn or discover how something works but gathering information at all cost is not just. Researchers have tortured and tested on animals to obtain information on the current studies they may be on. There is three main reasons why a lot of people think that animal testing should stop. Many of them think that animals have rights too, it is a wasteful, and that the experiments are inhumane.

Many people have argued that animals have human rights too. Like humans, animals are living creatures with interests in their own lives and freedom. To treat them differently and say that experimentation on non-human animals is justified but experimentation on humans is not makes them a prejudice. Scientists do not experiment on human subjects without their consent, just as they do not experiment on humans who are incapable of consenting to experimentation therefore, they should not experiment on non-human animals. There must be more than 100 millions of animals that have been through all these kinds of harmful tests as well as being stuck in a cage inside a laboratory. .

Another good reason about animal testing is that it wastes our valued resources. Testing on animals for pointless things that we do not need is a waste, such like finding a new lipstick or something pointless as cosmetics. Even if scientist have a good reason for testing on animals, like for example, finding a new vaccine or a cure, it still comes down to a waste of time and the gathering of information is not efficient. The Food and Drug Administration reports that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in humans. Testing on animals is not an efficient way for human medication because it is not guarantee that it will work as good as it did for a human.
